A seasoned plagiarist by this, he opened a book which lay upon the table among several others and duly found the chapter entitled Of the Cannibals. "So, so!" he said aloud. "'It is a nation, would I answer Plato, 'that has no kind of traffic, no knowledge of letters " And with that he sat about reshaping Montaigne's conceptions of Utopia into verse.
As for the more material Norma, whose time, free from the requirements of her profession, had hitherto been largely given to reshaping her old garments in imitations of the ever-changing fashions, finding that the baby clung to Mary, she bore no malice, but good-naturedly turned her skill toward making the poor accommodations of their room meet the needs of the occasion, and in addition appointed herself maid to her small ladyship.
The narcissist is preoccupied with ideal love, the construction of brilliant, revolutionary scientific theories, the composition or authoring or painting of the greatest work of art, the founding of a new school of thought, the attainment of fabulous wealth, the reshaping of a nation or a conglomerate, and so on.

Madam Julia, as she was always called, entered with a swish of skirts and leaving a trail of French instructions behind her in the work-room instructions to her employees as to the trimming on this "effect" and the reshaping of that "creation." "Ah, yes, Mees Kimball," she began.
But it is in the subtle grafting and reshaping one must needs do to the brain that my trouble lies. The intelligence is often oddly low, with unaccountable blank ends, unexpected gaps.
